    Probably a little less from Ant and Dame, but a lot of minutes will come from Hart would be my guess. He’s probably averaging like 36mpg right now.

    It's super early, so stupid to say, I'm sure. But I'm a huge Atlanta Braves fan as well. And last year, after the trade deadline, we started to go on a huge run, and a memorable quote from Joc Pederson was, "Maybe we are those mother fuckers". And that carried through. When people doubted, it was, maybe we are...This team has that same feeling(not championship contender, just under rated), where each game we can walk in and be those mother fuckers.

    This is my guess as well. Get Dame an extra 2 or 3 minutes rest a night, same with Ant but bring Hart's minutes down to the low 20s. The thing I wonder about is if Nas will see the court.

    There is a fact here though. We have a bunch and I mean 7 guys (Dame, Ant, Hart, GP2, Shae, Nas, Justise) that should get minutes at the 1, 2 or 3 spots but you can't play 7 guys in a rotation for only three spots... one of those guys (Justise) can get those minutes at the 4. The other fact that was painfully obvious tonight is that we're woefully lacking in quality bigs... we need at least one more than the one we currently have, especially since the one we currently have has only played 421 games in his 9 seasons in the league. That's less than 47 games a season.

    There will be at least a trade, I don't know who will go out and who will come in but we will make a trade that sends at least one of those seven guys out and brings us back a legit backup big.

    Also I get that Josh has played really well and that Gary was a major component in last season's championship but we should not be talking about cutting Shaedon's minutes, we should be talking about getting him more minutes, more touches and more plays called for him.

    Why are the Hornets not playing Mark Williams?? Might as well trade him to us.

    I wouldn’t be surprised to see small ball lineups where we see Payton at the 3 or even the 4.

    Last year in the Finals he spent a lot of time guarding Tatum. It was a matchup Kerr liked.

    Just got home from seeing Lanny's wife.

    Didn't see any of the game.

    We won and it didn't take a last-second shot to do it, lol.

    What else stood out to you all?

    Apparently he’s in the GL right now according to Hornets fans. Still doesn’t make sense though, they should give him minutes while to develop now while they suck. Let Williams learn and potentially foul out in games that don’t matter.

    Sharpe floats in the air and his shot is buttery.

    Sharpe's 17 points on 7/10 shooting and Dame's effortless 6/12 from 3pt range. We were sloppy with passes again, but Dame started hearing "Eye of the Tiger" in his head midway through the 3rd quarter and just took over.

    He's going to be incredible in a few years.
